Chapter 1 Beauty and Boar
"Shasha, shasha..." A strange voice came from the grass in the distance.
Lin Ban held a dog-tailed grass in his hand and was lying lazily on the grass looking at the stars. Hearing this sound, he jumped up with excitement all over his body, squinting and looking into the distance.
"These stupid pigs are here again!" After seeing the dark shadows in the grass in the distance through the moonlight, Lin Ban's face turned a little blue. He shouted angrily, and then rushed into the simple shed made of wood and straw, took out a worn iron washbasin, and knocked it twice with a wooden stick.
"Bin, s..."
These two loud noises immediately startled a group of birds in the mountain forest. They spread their wings and flew around in the night sky, making strange "chatter" sounds, which sound amazing.
The dark shadows lurking in the grass seemed to be shocked by these movements and stopped at the same time.
But a moment later, the dark shadows looked at the forest and continued to move forward, stepping down patches of grass.
"Dead pigs, try this!" Seeing this scene, Lin half gritted his teeth and lit a small string of firecrackers and threw them out.
"Papa, Papa..." The crisp sound of firecrackers resounded through the mountains and forests, startling more birds.
The shadows stopped again, but as soon as the sound of firecrackers stopped, they persistently walked forward.
After a while, they had walked out of the grass and swaggered into the kingdom that the forest was desperately guarded - the green watermelon field.
"One, two, three, four... Damn, there are four big wild boars and seven small ones!" Half of Lin's face turned more blue.
The four big black wild boars, each weighing nearly 200 pounds, are the main force of robbing melon fields. Behind them were seven small wild boars with earthy yellow stripes, which were obviously the family members of the army who came to fight the autumn wind.
The eleven wild boars entered the watermelon field. After humming a few times, they buried their heads and chewed them as if no one was around.
"Kka, click..." One watermelon after another cracked, and Lin Ban's heart trembling when he heard the sound.
Every watermelon is money... Lin Ban's adoptive father has been paralyzed for many years. For Lin Ban, who is counting on this money to sell melons for his adoptive father's life, these wild boars are not nibbling on melons, but on his adoptive father's life.
"Beast! Get out of here, get out of here!" Lin shouted a few times angrily and knocked on the iron basin for a while, but it was ignored by the wild boars.
Lin Ban frowned, took out a borrowed small tape recorder and played the roar of the tiger.
The tiger roaring mountain forest is quite cold. But the two wild boars leading the leader have been trained in this kind of intimidation several times before, and now they are immune. They can't smell the tiger and will naturally not be fooled again.
After Lin Ban blew up the remaining small firecrackers, the wild boars still had no intention of leaving. Unlike previous tentative attacks, they seem to be determined to enjoy this big meal tonight.
Lin Ban was anxious and angry. He rushed into the shack again, put a pile of small stones that had been prepared with a washbasin, and threw a few pieces out fiercely.
His hand strength is not small, and his accuracy is also good. All those stones failed, and they all hit several wild boars.
The big wild boar shook his body as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't care about Lin Ban's harassment. BUT WHEN A SMALL WILD BOAR "VIVI" SCREAMED, TWO OF THE BANGS OF THEM WERE ANGRY. THEY LOOKED UP AT THE LIN HALF A GLANCE AND STOED AT HIM.
The wild boar's fangs emit a terrible cold light in the moonlight, like a poisonous dagger.
Lin Ban was shocked, quickly threw down the washbasin, turned around and ran more than 20 meters, and then quickly climbed to a bitter oak tree.
He ran very fast, like a gust of wind blowing. When he climbed the tree, he was as agile as an ape. Unexpectedly, he rushed to the bitter oak tree at the critical moment of life and death. But the two big wild boars couldn't stop and hit the tree trunk.
"Bang bang..." The tree was hit by a wild boar, as if it was about to fall down. Lin was so scared that he hugged a big tree branch and dared not let go.
Fortunately, the bitter oak tree is not small. It was not knocked down by the wild boar, otherwise the consequences would be very serious. Most of Lin Ban's life would have to be reimbursed.
"Bang Bang..." There was another chaotic noise. The two big wild boars couldn't help Lin Ban for a while, so they vented their anger on the shed where Lin Ban slept. After only two hits, the shack completely collapsed.
"ENEN..." The two wild boars seemed to hum with satisfaction, and then ran to the meadowland to chew, and even rolled in the meadowland in revenge. In a while, the melon field was already a mess.
"It's over..." Lin Ban gritted his teeth and sat on the tree branch in despair. He wanted to die for a moment.
Has half a year of hard work and hard work has been in vain in a blink of an eye...
Lin Ban lived in Qinglong Village, five miles away from Qinglong Mountain. His adoptive mother died early. His adoptive father, Lin Dongzhi, was paralyzed by a car accident and lay in ** for ten years. Lin Ban is studying by himself, and there is a sister Lin Min at home who has just finished her third year of junior high school. Because there was no source of income, Lin Ban's family was very poor and he also borrowed a lot of foreign debt. Therefore, Lin Ban took on the burden of supporting his family when he was very young. He was thinking about how to make money to support his family and pay off his debts all day long. He was forced into a little money fan by life.
In order to pay off more and more foreign debts, during the Spring Festival in 2011, Lin Ban, who was in his senior year of high school, borrowed a sum of money without telling his adoptive father and hired a helper to contract a watermelon field halfway up the mountain of Qinglong Mountain, hoping to make some money and improve the life of his family.
This melon field was originally opened by an out-of-town melon farmer. When I heard that he had made enough money, he went back to Heilongjiang. Guan farmers in Heilongjiang used to make a lot of efforts in the field, attracting mountain spring water, digging a small septic tank, and leveling a road that can run a small tricycle. Because of the good foundation, this melon field is still fertile. The seedless watermelon planted by Lin Ban is growing happily. Seeing that there will be a good harvest this year, Lin Ban is very gratified.
I didn't expect that when the watermelon was about to ripen, it would attract wild boars in the deep mountains and forests. Seeing the wild boars near the melon field, Lin's intestines were regretful for a while, but he had been riding a tiger, so he had to brace his scalp to support it.
At this critical moment, the helper resigned and went to work in Shenzhen. Lin Ban had no choice but to take care of the upcoming college entrance examination. He quickly ran to Qinglong Mountain and took care of these baby watermelons that were gradually maturing.
In fact, Lin Ban didn't plan to take the college entrance examination at all. After all, it costs a lot of money to go to college, and he may not be able to find a job after studying. He only wanted to graduate from high school and was ready to go out to work to make money. At present, the top priority is to protect the melon land. Fortunately, after selling the watermelon, he will pay off part of the foreign debt and leave a living expenses for his family, so that he can go out to work at ease.
Wild boars especially like sweet crops such as sweet potatoes and peanuts, and prefer to eat watermelon. If you don't take care of it all the time, the whole watermelon field may be ruined by several wild boars overnight.
Wild boars have thick skin, and those thorns and other protective fences can't stop them at all. In desperation, Lin Ban had to put some dummy in the melon field. Every night, he beat them with washbasins, gongs and drums, bamboo tubes and other utensils, and occasionally set off some firecrackers and played some roars such as tigers to scare away the wild boars who tried to approach.
At first, the wild boars were a little afraid of Lin Ban's little tricks, but later they got used to it. As watermelons mature, their eating is becoming more and more blatant. It takes a lot of effort for Lin Ban to drive them away every time.
Lin Ban hated these "robbers" who were wild in the watermelon field. Only then did he ignore the national second-class protected animals of wild boars and wanted to kill them. It's just that he didn't have the unique skill of digging traps and wild boars, and he couldn't get a shotgun, so he had to stare.
In fact, even if he could get a controlled item such as a shotgun, Lin Ban did not dare to hit the wild boar. The wild boar has thick skin and hard meat, and its manes and skin are coated with solidified turpentine, and shotgun bullets are not easy to enter. And if it doesn't hit the key, a big injured wild boar will crash crazily, which can kill people. What's more, wild boars are usually in groups, not just one.
A group of crazy wild boars are hunters with guns who dare not face it, not to mention Lin Ban, who is unarmed and has just turned 18 years old?
Although Lin Ban is bold, he sometimes has weak legs and stomachs in the face of these fierce beasts with sharp teeth. It's just that the income of melon land is very important to him. People are arched by wild boars, and watermelons are even more deadly when they are arched by wild boars, so he can't help but be afraid. Every time the wild boar comes, he can only drive it away, regardless of the danger.
And tonight, eleven wild boars broke into the watermelon field together. The forest used up all kinds of means, but they still couldn't scare them away, so they had to drive them away with stones.
When Lin Ban hit the wild boars just now, he used small stones. In fact, he just wanted to scare them. Because he knew that if he was beaten hard, the wild boar would try his best. It's just that he didn't expect that the little wild boar was hit in the dark, so the big wild boar came to take revenge and made a block of "pig's mouth out of danger" and was almost killed by the wild boar, which scared him into a cold sweat.
The forest half-hearted spirit climbing on the tree was slightly settled, and he looked at the melon field with incomparable distress.
Seeing that the watermelons that can be exchanged for money immediately are being spoiled by wild boars, but there is nothing he can do. For a moment, his heart is like a knife.
It's completely over this time! In order to pay off the debt to get this watermelon land, I encountered such a broken matter. The old debt has not been cleared, and a new debt has been added. If the adoptive father with strong self-esteem knows, he will definitely commit suicide again. How can he be worthy of his adoptive father and adoptive mother who has worked hard to raise himself?
But can you blame yourself for attracting wild boars? It's just strange... God's trick, fate is unfair!
The more Lin Ban thought about it, the more sad and angry he became. He only felt that there was a blazing fire burning in his heart. He suddenly raised his head, stared at the sky fiercely, gritted his teeth and roared, "God, have you played enough? Why are you always torturing me? How long are you going to toss around?
Thinking of his miserable life that he was abandoned by his biological parents at birth, and the hardships and hardships over the years, Lin Banman's anger could not be vented, so he had to shout a few times.
A bird flew over the top of the forest and was shouted by the forest. It seemed to be greatly frightened. Suddenly, it screamed, its wings closed, and fell straight down from the sky. It fluttered on the ground twice and never moved again.
"I yelled to death? When did I become a lion roar? Lin Ban was stunned by this extremely strange scene. He couldn't figure out what was going on, so he looked up doubtfully.
The brilliant starlight in the sky is still silent forever, regardless of Lin Ban's helpless cry just now. However, Lin Ban suddenly found that a meteor suddenly fell from the sky and drew a gorgeous track.
It's boring for Lin Ban to stay alone in the melon field. What he can do is to look at the stars and think about some careful things about how to get rich, so he often sees meteors in summer nights.
Strangely, the previous meteor would fall to the ground in a few seconds, but the meteor swayed in the sky for a long time, and then floated from the southwest to the sky above half of the forest, and then seemed to stay there and refused to move.
After a second or two, the meteor suddenly shone brightly, like a sudden explosion of a lantern.
"Damn it, don't hang around on my head. If you have guts, fall down and kill me!" Lin, who was staring at the sky to vent his anger, didn't think about it, so he gritted his teeth and shouted.
Just the next second, Lin Ban was dumbfounded. The meteor seemed to understand his call and fell towards him impartially!
In a blink of an eye, the silver-white light became bigger and bigger, and the bright light filled the whole pupil of Lin Ban.
"No way, really?" Lin was shocked, lowered his head, jumped off the tree, and then ran away crazily.
As soon as he ran a few steps, Lin Ban heard a loud bang, and then felt the ground shake violently, and a fierce shock wave directly lifted him away. Behind him, there were faint wild boar screams of "VIVI" and "ENEN"...
The next moment, the whole world fell silent, and even the sound of insects and frogs that had been shouting in the mountains and forests suddenly stopped, which was indescribably strange.
Lin Ban was dizzy and had pain all over his body. Fortunately, his bones were strong, so his bones were not broken.
He spit out the mud all over his mouth, lay on the ground for a long time, and then got up blankly.
Turning around, Lin was stunned.
In the night, something the size of a small hill fell in the middle of the watermelon field, exactly where the wild boars were just now.
The wild boar has disappeared at this moment, and it seems to be directly crushed by the black thing. Sadly, the whole watermelon field seems to have been bombarded by shells. A thick layer of soil covers the melon ground, and there is basically no green.
"Damn meteorite, damn it, blame me for this stinky mouth!" Lin suddenly wanted to cry without tears.
When such a large meteorite fell down, the watermelon field was completely finished, and the real particles were lost.
"Oh, what's shining? Is it a small meteorite? Since it can shine, it may be a gem like a night pearl..." After a long time, Lin Ban suddenly saw two glowing things in the melon field, and couldn't help thinking about it again.
Meteors are big and small, only sand grains are big, and the big ones are bigger than houses. A meteor that has not burned out in the atmosphere falls to the ground, which is a meteorite. Some meteorites are rich in expensive rare metals and even minerals that have never been found on the earth, which can be said to be priceless... Lin Ban still knows this common sense.
If the meteorite in front of you is really a gem, it will definitely sell it at a good price. Even if you can't find a buyer and take it to the public, the county government should give him a large bonus. It's probably no problem to pay off the debt...
At the thought of money, Lin Ban's courage suddenly increased. He quickly rubbed his legs and stumbled over to see what was going on.
After walking more than 20 steps to the southwest, Lin Ban finally saw one of the glowing things - it turned out to be a sword more than one meter long, which exuded a blue light all over the body. There were complex and simple patterns on the sword, and there was a trace of red light flowing around the sword!
"How can it be a sword?" Lin Ban's mind was a little confused. He stood for a long time before he bent down to pick up the sword.
The hilt of the sword was cold, and the sword body was extremely heavy. Lin Ban exerted his strength and did not lift the sword.
"Hiss..." Lin Ban took a breath of cold air and stood up doubtfully. He shook his head and walked to another glowing thing.
After walking more than ten steps to the southwest corner, Lin Ban was completely petrified.
Lying on the ground is not a gem, but a woman, and a great beauty!
